Youth Albanian in protest against demolition of Museum House, of Korica Autonomous Republic

The protest was about a reaction against the loss and destruction of the city values.

“The House of the Flag was intentionally demolished under the administration’s nose”, the young protesters say.

Korce, Municipality to rebuild Autonomous Republic House

The loss of another culture monument in Korce has brought the reaction of the Municipality, saying that Mayor Niko Peleshi has expressed the readiness of the Municipality to reconstruct this museum house and return it to the city, with the Municipality’s funds.

The Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports has received the request for allowing the Municipality to reconstruct the house where the flag of Independent Korca was raised, so that they can have it ready on November 28th as a historical and cultural part of the city.

The Municipality has also filed a report at the Korce Prosecution, which  is now investigating to find the persons that brought the building down.

In this house, Themistokli Germenji declared Korca independent on 16 December 1916, but it was destroyed yesterday with heavy vehicles. The loss of such a value was strangely followed by the silence of the owners, some of them are also constructors.
